According to Amazon, the popular voice-controlled speaker system will be available at select Whole Foods locations. A Brooklyn location advertised the Amazon Echo as the "pick of the season" the day the acquisition completed.

In November, more than 100 stores started selling even more Amazon tech.

Whole Foods is offering major discounts on these Amazon products the week leading up to Black Friday. Whole Foods' pre-Black Friday deals include $20 off the Echo Dot, $20 off the new Amazon Echo, and $30 off the Kindle Paperwhite.

Amazon Prime members will get special discounts.

Soon after Amazon's $13.7 billion acquisition of Whole Foods went through, more than a thousand Whole Foods items were added to Amazon.com. Whole Foods goods are available on Amazon.com, AmazonFresh, Prime Pantry, and Prime Now.

Currently, to purchase many of the Whole Foods items you need to have an AmazonFresh membership. AmazonFresh is Amazon's grocery delivery service and costs Prime members an additional $14.99 per month.

Whole Foods locations will no longer allow brand representatives to visit stores to promote products or check up on how things are stocked and displayed, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

"Whole Foods also is centralizing much of its decision-making regarding the assortment of products across the country," the Wall Street Journal reported. "Instead of allowing brands to frequently pitch their products to individual stores or regions, Whole Foods executives in its Austin, Texas headquarters will choose a higher percentage of the items stores carry."
